The arrival of gladiolus has greatly improved the research and development of the mad dog dragon, both in terms of speed and field.

It is said that the mad dog dragon brought the gladiolus, but it is better to say that the gladiolus is guiding the mad dog dragon, from the body of the mad dog dragon not only learned a lot of knowledge principles in the manufacturing field, but also he deeply realized that in the past, his own research was actually messing around, letting his own temperament and ideas mess around, in fact, many things did not follow the mainstream laws of the "Ninth Continent", so that the research and development in some fields fell into a bottleneck.

For example, since the bomb was developed to kill you, he also tried to make a more powerful bomb, but the method has been exhausted, and he really doesn't know what to do except increase the dose.

It's impossible to make a bomb the size of a washbasin, right?

Yes, that kind of macho bomb can blow up a building with one shot, the question is do you have that liliang thrown hundreds of meters away?

That's not realistic!

Of course, although these areas are temporarily in a bottleneck state, there is good news.

On the morning of the fifth day back to the headquarters, the blue sky, clear water, and big red flower delivered the goods to the door in person.

Brother Honghua lived up to the trust and finally collected the materials on the list.

"Brother Gua, what do you want these unpopular raw materials for?" Brother Honghua has always been curious about this.

Mad Dog Dragon was now anxious for research and development, and ignored his question: "Brother Hua, do you know where rune trees are sold?" ”

Brother Honghua was very strange: "You want a rune tree?" Can't you buy it at the mall? ”

Mad Dog Dragon was speechless for a while, his ability to express himself was sometimes a fool of Nyima.

Go to the mall to buy?

Brother, don't be kidding. The rune tree itself is a rare prop, and its price is extremely expensive, and I only knew how barren the resources of the Exiled Land were when I went to the Martial Arts Continent, and you still let me go to the mall? Are you trying to break the bank?

"I mean, where can I buy relatively cheap rune trees?" Mad Dog Long patiently explained, he also knew that there was a great shortage of talents in the guild today, and there was no player in the Eastern Dynasty who specialized in the research and development of runes.

"Oh, cheap?" Brother Honghua smiled, "It's simple, the black market is everywhere." ”

"I ......" Mad Dog Dragon wanted to vomit blood again, buddy was so short on time. I'm completely unfamiliar with the black market in Teisburg. It's impossible to go door-to-door.

However, although the black market in Teisburg is not familiar, the black market buddies in Hoffield are very familiar.

As soon as he thought of Hooffield City, he thought of Mu Zixing's eyes.

That's right. Sister Xia is an arcane mage. Maybe there's a way to do that?

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around: "Eldest sister." I've got something to do to lay down in Hooffield, and I'll trouble you about purification. ”

The gladiolus who was tinkering on the workbench in Shiyan's room didn't raise her head: "I know, if you come back early, please bring me a pack of cheese biscuits." ”

I saw Mu Zixing's headquarters again. Mad Dog Dragon has mixed feelings.

The purple church building is still so smart and beautiful, and the seven big characters on the top of the gate are still full of seven-colored brilliance.

A long-lost sense of familiarity flowed through my heart, but now I was no longer a member of this guild.

Once upon a time, he had nothing to do with Tyrant Tooth Zhen Jingwa and them, accompanied Qiushui Yiren to earn hard-earned money, and followed the guild to do tasks...... It seems like yesterday, but it seems like many years have passed.

The square that used to be crowded is now empty, and only Sister Bachelor is waiting for him here.

"It's a lot colder." The mad dog dragon sighed.

Sister Bachelor didn't seem to be much surprised by his visit, and explained lightly: "After you left, many brothers and sisters withdrew, and the guild has been in a slump since that wedding incident. ”

There was a lot of helplessness in the faint tone, and the mad dog dragon looked at her: "Sister, aren't you still there?" You didn't leave. ”

The bachelor sister smiled bitterly: "Things have long been wrong, maybe I don't have a place to go......"

She suddenly changed to a happy smile: "Anyway, cucumber, welcome home!" ”

Mad Dog Dragon nodded: "What about Sister Xia?" ”

The smile of the single sister disappeared immediately: "Handle affairs in the conference room, you can go in and find her directly." ”

The mad dog dragon gave her a puzzled look, and finally entered the headquarters hall without asking anything.

The conference room is still the same room, and many of the original furnishings have not changed, but the person doesn't seem to be the same person anymore.

Xia Xiaoqing sat on the rostrum, her face was still contoured, delicate, and still so attractive, but the mad dog dragon had an indescribable sense of rustiness.

It's just because her eyebrows are full of seriousness and coldness, and there is a kind of composure and calmness between her gestures, this kind of temperament he has seen in Violet and Tianxianzi, that is, the high-ranking boss, accustomed to holding power and giving orders.

In fact, he had heard for a long time that since the "Wedding of the Century", Mu Zixingyan's civil strife has become more serious, Yan Yuhua resigned, a sword in the wind took the helm, Violet served as the vice president, and Xia Xiaoqing served as a member of the council.

The Heavenly Fairy of the original council lost all her prestige because of that incident, and under the pressure of strong public opinion and the growing dissatisfaction of the guild members, she also quit the guild and finally left in disgrace.

And after Xia Xiaoqing became a member of the council, she revisited the fairy camp all day long, and after a few months of development, her camp actually dominated the Mu Zixing family, surpassing the other four families such as Love in the autumn.

Due to the special composition of the Mu Zi Xingyan Guild, she was now actually equivalent to the most powerful person in the entire guild.

In the heart of Mad Dog Dragon, Xia Xiaoqing has always been an image of a big sister who is particularly good at taking care of people.

However, the former eldest sister is gone, and he is now facing a superior who is full of majesty, and he even feels a kind of persecutive pressure.

"Sister Xia!" Li Dalong still shouted softly, he has always had very few friends, and he is unwilling to lose any of the few friends he has.

Xia Xiaoqing raised her head at this time: "Cucumber, you're here!" ”

The same words no longer sounded like the old cordial tone, because her voice was so mechanical that the mad dog dragon couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Xia Xiaoqing waved his hand: "You all go out, cucumber is my old friend, we have something to talk about!" ”

The other dozen or so players in the conference room dispersed one after another, and it wasn't until the door was closed that Xia Xiaoqing spoke: "Cucumber, what did you do when you came to me this time?" ”

Mad Dog Dragon was a little ashamed to hear this, yes, it's not very glorious to find friends when you have something, this is not in line with his usual machismo thoughts.

But since he came, there was no reason not to say it, and after briefly telling his request, Xia Xiaoqing replied lightly: "Haode, I have written down your business, but there are very few people I know who specialize in this field, if I meet the right person, I will notify you as soon as possible......"

Speaking of this, she waved her hand again: "You go get busy, I also made an appointment with people from other guilds to meet today, and I have an empty sound box to contact." ”

From the mad dog dragon entering the conference room to the time of saying goodbye, the entire duration of this meeting did not exceed 5 minutes, Xia Xiaoqing is no longer the same Xia Xiaoqing who once invited him to a big dinner in Casablanca, as if he has become another person.

Walking to the gate, the mad dog dragon couldn't help but look back at her, only to see Xia Xiaoqing burying his head in the notebook sketching something, he sighed secretly, and finally pushed the door out, leaving no words.

It wasn't until he left that Xia Xiaoqing put down her pen, looked up and stared at the door that had been closed, as if she was reluctant to move her gaze for a long time, and there was an indescribably complicated look in her eyes, as if she was silent, but as if she was sad.

"Sister Xia, she ......," the mad dog dragon wanted to speak and stopped.

The single sister in the square seemed to know what he was going to ask, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your sister Xia was personally nominated and recommended by the previous president, and she was only level 6 at that time. ”

The mad dog dragon listened carefully.

Sister Bachelor continued: "I heard that the elder has a great kindness to Sister Xia, and this is not only in this. ”

The meaning of this is that the mad dog dragon can understand, the former Xia Xiaoqing must also be poor, and the dismal results in "The Ninth Continent" will also lead to difficulties in real life.

Sister Bachelor sighed: "At that time, Sister Xia was the star of hope for the guild, and the elder also hoped that she could carry forward the guild in the future. ”

Needless to say, Sister Bachelor also understood the mad dog dragon, the incident of the fairy almost ruined the entire Mu Zixing eyes, it is estimated that in the entire history of Mu Zixing eyes, this time is the lowest point in history, and in this extraordinary period, the only one who is willing to stand up and stand up to help the guild tide over the difficulties together is the loyal Xia Xiaoqing.

Sister Bachelor looked at the blue sky and said faintly: "She is determined to reorganize the guild and bring Mu Zixingyan into the top 100 in the whole continent, it is said that the boss in the wind also intends to give way, and when the time is ripe, push her to the throne, let her become the president and lead everyone to develop and grow, so ...... She's only now what she's like, alas! ”

Yes, the boss should look like the boss, maybe she didn't deliberately make it to show people, but stayed in that position for a long time, and gradually developed a habit, used to wearing a mask to speak, used to keeping a distance from people, used to being polite without being rude, and also used to looking at the problem from the big picture and abandoning personal preferences......

When she gets used to all the habits, she will find that she can no longer get used to the old days, and this is the price of growth.

Of course, this is not her problem, nor is it a problem of time, but the problem of the whole society, no matter how sharp and angular you are, the deeper you get into the play, the big dye vat of society will smooth you out.

The social essence of virtual Shijie is the same as that of real society, not to mention Xia Xiaoqing, even the mad dog dragon himself has all kinds of fetters of one kind or another.

It's just that the mad dog dragon can understand Xia Xiaoqing, but he just can't be happy, because he already feels that a close friend is drifting away from him, and the next time they meet, it may be the end of the world, and the most frightening thing is that he is a stranger in the end.

The world is like a white cloud and a dog, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? (To be continued......)
